"These, these are geese. And NOT bats." -serious face-

nardwuar plays strange powers over his interviewees, like triggering tourette's on peter murphy

peter- so handsome, knowledgeable, gentle

Nardwuar interviews are always a great indicator of which musicians take themselves too seriously.

Hearing Peter Murphy call Marilyn Manson goth hurt my heart a little.

Nardwuar is a very good patience tester.

Cant believe even my man Peter was interviewed by nardwuar

I'm pretty sure he does that because he's a stutterer and that's his way of masking it. Being a stutterer the first 16 years of my life, I recognize the tricks.

I love his voice

Idk Peter seems pretentious but in a harmless n charming way. Gods bless him.

he still does that weird gasping thing when he talks ..like he keeps getting out of breath.

This is super fucking brilliant. New kids were Bauhaus fans? LFMAO!!! He took the piss massively at the end.

Judging by the comments, Murphy's fans are stuck-up, humourless and too ignorant to even know who Nard-the fucking legend-wuar is. Too bad considering how much wit and meta/referential humour are defining elements of Bauhaus sound and lyrics

I think more likely, with the exception of The Sisters, "Goth" didn't exist when they started, there was no word for what they were doing, there was no scene until they created it, that's why they feel no connection to it. Siouxsie & The Banshees for example come more from the punk scene, and their first album is counted as one of the very first (and very best) post-punk albums. The moniker "Goth" came after.

keep on taking the pills lol

I love how Peter is so down to Earth. And yes....that guy should keep on taking the pills.

Literally witnessed the north of england being bombed by the nazi's during WW2. During the 70's it was a violently destitute and poor as modern day detroit is. This is why most of the sound is "darker" louder and more theatrical.

the debatable father of goth called nin and marilyn manson as the only goth bands he knows

Was that really Peter Murphy in the Maxell ad? I had no idea

This interviewer seems like a very uncomfortable person to be with, lol, I don't blame Peter by get a little annoyed. The end is hilarious though xD

what a beautiful man

I think he was just trying to be being polite and thoughtful with his responses.

Nardwuar fucked up by interrupting the man twice

Are you accusing Peter of a goth disinformation conspiracy? Bauhaus, Siouxsie, The Sisters and the other foundational bands never associated with goth because they didn't want to be pigeonholed into one genre, one that didn't really exist until they came along. They admit to not understanding it and begrudgingly accept it at best. No wonder he's misinformed.

MY GRANDPA GOTH and my FAV INTERVIEWER it couldn't get more epic!

WTF! That was Peter Murphy on all those Maxxell tapes?!

@Kzierbold I don't consider Marilyn Manson "goth" (in the sense of Bauhaus, Siouxsie, and '80s goth) but I think what Peter meant by referring to Marilyn Manson as "goth" was that he didn't want to label himself as "goth" and that he wanted to distance himself from the bands that are considered "goth" now, such as Marilyn Manson.

Nardwuar is the original troll

Peter Murphy is such a gentleman, he kicked Nardwar's ass in a very polite way haha Seriously, Nardwar sometimes is pretty cool and easy going and kind and sometimes he is a troll. I have watched a couple of interviews in which he is decided to annoy the musician in question and then...I celebrate Blur for what they did to him.

Love how he chugs his drink.

this makes me so happy

It's Nardwuar, he does this to everybody. It's really quite funny when you get over the hero worship. And the research he does prior to his interviews was enough to net him an honorary history degree from the University of British Columbia.

Thank you Nardwuar, long may you run

I don't know anything about them now, but I have to say that they did put on good shows. Really nice, too, they seemed to be just as curious about us as we were of them. They opened for Siouxsie at the Hollywood Palladium in '86 - not a huge venue. Being a gothic kid in LA and hispanic, I realize we were like kids out of the Love & Rockets comic books to them. Peter Murphy seemed the same - curious about us, and not full of himself.

i used to have the remake poster of this ad. Awesome that Peter Murphy was the original subject in the advert. "But these are geese, not bats..." lol

Peter Murphy ❤❤❤

Can't he shut up for a second and let Peter talk!!!

"keep on taking the pills "😹

i hope everyone understands his sarcasm about the marilyn manson and NIN comment he made....

That was hilarious. Peter is so awesome.

I love this, and Peter of course.

Three tries at the end!!! Love it..

I have to say the same thing I never really noticed it either until this inteview. Doesn't matter he is fantastic!

do Nardwuar vs Andrew Eldritch!! that would be legendary XD but try not to get hit when you mention the "G" word

"Don't Need a Cure" a Pere Ubu song on PM's 1st album "Should The World Fail to Fall Apart". Video is on YT.

Great story about Peter saying the merch is bootlegged etc.. I was living in LA in 2010 and Bloomingdale’s had a $450 Bauhaus t-shirt for sale lol. Also my cousin a screen printer had been making knockoffs for personal use since 1985 haha

it's seen as kind of cool to live in Istanbul nowadays. But he did it because of his talented Turkish wife who's a choreographer for a prestigious contemporary dance company there

This dude knows what he's talking about.

That was totally fucking hilarious. That last bit where he's like trying to prompt him for the little diddy, and he shines him on 3 times is pure gold. Who was this Uberlame interviewer?

Actually had that growing up. Nice to know.

Lol it's 2022 and I'm just finding out peter Murphy was the guy in that ad for maxell

"Doot do do do doot.....Keep on taking the pills" .... FLOL!!!!

what year is this?

Now that was a stark contrast

love you peter !

when im in a band i want nardwuar to interb

@wiregreyhounds Agreed wiregreyhounds.Nard comes off a bit of a clown but he comes prepared and he will inocently expose who you really are alot of the times.This was a good one.

Peeeeter ...you were doing so well until the end ...gaaah

@Nadwuar Dude, you're lucky you didn't catch Pete in a bad mood. You've really got balls. One would almost think a HC kid was interviewing him as a joke.

reporter needs a chill pill

Lagartija means gekko in spanish. I believe it literally means "little alligator", since Lagarto is the word for gator.

Brill Pete..🌟

Peter Murphy: Pure gothic rock. (Not that poser shit like Mansonites and COF.) Fuck yes.

After this and GWAR I can die happy.

Peter John Joseph Murphy (n. 11 de julio de 1957, cerca de Northampton, Reino Unido), es el vocalista del grupo post-punk Bauhaus, además de poseer una amplia carrera en solitario, alcanzado su cenit comercial en 1990.

Yeah. But usually, they aren't people who know or listen to the music. I'd guess he was saying it that way just to annoy Peter Murphy - who doesn't deserve it. I love how PM got all perky when he was referred to as "Batman".

Whoa...Nadrwuar got schooled TWICE: that's the first time I've ever seen someone correct him in an interview, the guy usually knows his facts like a human encyclopedia!

love how he says "bahhaus "

What is the song playing around 6:48?

Keep on taking the Pills

year zero for goth has to be the velvet underground and nico

❤

for astra-whatever, google lagartija. Never heard of Sacher, but since i'm a big fan of bauhaus, murphy, ash, and J, I'll look for it. Thanks, Dracula!!!

lol the end of this tragic interview was funny xD

I do not know if this guy John Ruskin (aka NArdwuar ) can read all this comments but , i guess it's harsh for the interviewed character when they are speaking and anwerind the questions , you interrupt 'em quitting the microphone... not only harsh for the character as it's harsh for us the audience.. Peter started really charming and humble this interview ... hope you can understand that concern of us the audience.

I agree, although I have heard people say it that way. It's a German word after all, and it's not totally surprising that some people don't know how to say it correctly.

@DrMalcolm I met him briefly in 1985. He seemed like a pretty nice guy, but I heard he was hard to get along with. I met Love & rockets in 1986 and they were even nicer.

Alright! Now Nardwuar has done everyone......

❤️💗❤️💗💥😍

thank you nardwuar.!!!

The interviewer is mainly trying to interview himself.

is nardwuar related to jiminy glick?

Question - Is "serviette" how they say "napkin" in Canadian?

My understanding is that the term 'gothic' music associated as a genre or classification didn't really come about until the late eighties or early nineties, roughly. The same thing for 'deathrock', although that was probably more familiar to the bands of those times. I don't think the majority of the bands that were labeled as such were deliberately trying to be associated in those ways at all. They just had their ideas and did what they did. You have the original voices, then you have an evolution of exaggerated versions from other bands that followed in their footsteps (sometimes). It's the fans that generally create those terms as a way to identify with whatever they listen to, and when you say something enough, it starts to spread and stick.

This seems to be when Nardwuar still would express viewpoints other than just being the character of Nardwuar.

Holy shit, I have that shirt

hahahahah peter's hilarious in this! heep taking the pills...

Sacher-Masoch

@Kzierbold same here (

final soution =)

and except for the fact that Nardwuar has been doing this for over twenty years.

He's Canadian, silly

Definitely on the spectrum as he excitedly talks about being getting injured.

so i presume this interviewer now works at a cash & carry?

@kdciiiesq Sure, but still he ought to have researched the proper pronunciation of the name Bauhaus.

have you heard anything by Peter Murphy? He is an incredibly talented musician and a marvellous perfromer. maybe your the one who should continue taking the pills as obviously you seem to be pretty out of it.

3:55 to 4:03 Is that anxiety causing him to breath that way? Lack of taking a breath while talking? Coke? I'm honestly curious.

Akaju Sorry about that. It's "Final Solution". Note he says he knows nothing about Gothic music. Only two Bauhaus songs can be considered Goth BL'sD and Mask. Most of his lyrics are religious in Bauhaus. RC or outre subjects like Masochism "Lagartija Nick" "Crack the whip. ..Lagertija Nick is the name on his whip".

Did it occur to you that he makes money from his publishing and tours? That he might have had fallen in love with his talented wife and with Turkish culture? That he decided to be muslim and learn the language. Enough to create taksim music in the album Deep and with Mick Karn? No seas cerrado , amigo. If you're going to hate him, maybe it could because he's lost his thunder in his own solo career after Deep, but the new Dali's Car ep is beautiful, especially the last tune.

Yeah, he has a slight stammer.
